Planning on drinking some adult beverages this week? Here are some of our top tips:
1. Eat something first. Alcohol can spike your blood glucose really quickly, and when the average male and female metabolizes 1 drink per hour it also can make your blood sugar plummet really quickly too. Drinking on an empty stomach not only gets you sloshed really quickly, it can leave you feeling hungry, irritable, and shaky.
2. Skip the sugar-laden drinks. If you're going to drink, choose higher quality alcohols such as vodka, tequila or gin and mix it with non-sugar mixers such as tonic, sparkling waters, or water on the rocks.
3. Take some time off. This isn't to say you can't enjoy a beverage at family dinner, but plan your drinking days in advance so you don't find yourself indulging every night of the week.
4. There is such a thing as clean wines. Surprise - if you didn't know, there are companies producing wines that have low amounts of sulfites, naturally or biodynamically farmed, gluten free, and without all the additives! If wine is your go-to try one that is toxin free. .

Before moving to Fargo, ND I lived in St. Paul, MN and absolutely loved it. Although St. Paul is a large city I loved it’s small town feel. One of my favorite things about the city was the farmers market. I would often wake up early on a Saturday, go downtown and walk through the market. Sometimes I would buy veggies or baked goods, but I would never leave without a beautiful bouquet of flowers. As a testament to those beautiful Saturday mornings in St. Paul I have this little postcard print of the market sitting on my shelf. I love being intentional in choosing decor, using items that are beautiful and meaningful.

A private plane carrying 53 cats and kittens landed in Minnesota on Saturday! 😺✈️ Hurricane Michael took the roof off their Alabama shelter, and these sweet felines were moved to temporary housing in a crowded warehouse. Weeks passed, but no shelters in the area had room for 50 extra cats – so Animal Humane Society was called to help. The generous volunteer pilots at @WingsOfRescue have been flying dogs and cats out of storm-damaged areas to shelters across the country, and agreed to make a stop in St. Paul to deliver this precious cargo. The cats are now safely at AHS receiving lots of TLC, and will soon be ready to find loving homes for the holidays! If you’re interested in adopting, please look for them on our website (link in profile). ❤️ Thank you for your continued support of AHS – the generosity of donors like you means we’re able to do more for animals in Minnesota and across the country!
